Abstract: Fastening strap composed of a rod having a vertical rectilinear part (20) and a curved part which forms a spring and the end (10) of which grips the flange (25) of the rail to be fastened, after being tensioned as a result of the rotation of the strap above a ramp (30), the lower end of the rectilinear part being equipped with a heel (2) catching on a retaining surface (36) in the tie. The strap has an intermediate bearing point (6) which, during the rotation of the strap, bears on an abutment (38) or on a bearing surface of a metal sole plate. This intermediate bearing point ensures the stability of the strap during its rotation and in its tensioned position and, if an abutment is used, keeps this abutment in place.

Abstract: A method of authenticating a personal code of a user of an integrated circuit card received in a reader fitted with a keypad, connected to a computer, and capable of accepting at least one type of card. Formatting instructions are transmitted from the computer to the reader that correspond to the type of the card. A command is sent for authenticating the personal code and the authentication command is verified in the reader. For a qualified authentication command, the reader is put into a secure mode which blocks anyone with fraudulent intentions from intervening in the procedure to obtain the personal code. The personal code is then inputted via the keypad of the reader, formatted for the particular type of card used, and the formatted code and the command for authenticating it are transmitted from the reader to the integrated circuit of the card. The card compares the formatted code with a pre-stored personal code.
